At Least Kanye Apologized After This Seriously Intense Interview with Ellen

At about five minutes into this interview with Ellen, who hosts a daytime TV program whose target audience is stay-at-home moms and dads, Kanye West says, "Picasso is dead. Steve Jobs is dead. Walt Disney is dead. Name somebody living that you can name in the same breath as them. Don't tell me about being likable."

What was Ellen's question again?

She hasn't spoken for about about three minutes. West continues talking for about eight minutes in total. A few highlights:

"Fuck the paparazzi."

West stands up and runs around the couch and coffee table setting.

Shoes

West does some freestyle rapping.

He claims he has synesthesia.

His plan to end bullying.

He ends with "I'm sorry daytime television. I'm sorry for the realness."

Please, someone give this guy a daytime Emmy.

It gets slightly less bizarre when they discuss his kids. But only slightly less. West is strangely withheld while talking about his children, a topic most people can easily discuss at length.

Then they play a little game, and Kanye seriously has a good time with it. This guy is a national treasure.

Now, compare West's Ellen appearance to Drake's earlier this week. Drake looked like he had been watching Ellen every day for most of his adult life.
